7th Heaven quotes

I know what he wanted. He wanted to ask about something he saw the other day. (pulls up her sleeve to reveal numbers) Could an innocent boy like that really understand my story?

Eric

Well....yeah, I think he can. But I don't want you to feel pressured to talk about it if it makes you uncomfortable.

Oh, I talk about it. With my friends who are survivors. We have common ears, we can hear each other. Other people....they don't hear us so well.

If only we could we just stop hating each other...if only.

Mary

[to her parents] Matt paid Brian $20 for him to go out with me! [to Matt] I can't believe you!

Annie

Like I said...

Matt

Yeah, yeah it'll blow up in my face.

[with Lucy is hiding under the bed listening] So I've been dying to ask you...what do you think of Lucy?

I think she's pretty nice.

Pretty nice? Please! She's absolutely rude to Ashley.

It probably just gets to her that Ashley and Jimmy are boyfriend/girlfriend. I mean, he and Lucy had been going out for a long time.

Yeah, I always wondered why he broke up with her anyway.

Well, for one thing, Jimmy says she's incredibly insecure.

So she's a little insecure...okay, she doesn't have a lot of self-confidence.

No kidding!

You're exactly right.

Yeah, but who would with an older sister who's a basketball star and a brain?

Yeah, I mean, if Mary hadn't made us invite Lucy over tonight, believe me...

Lucy

[to Mary] Did you pay Beverly to invite me to her sleepover or did you just threaten her?

Annie

Simon, you're going to have to tell Ruthie that despite your teaching, she's still going to have to take swim lessons.

Simon

Why me?

Annie

Because you're the one who let her believe that she could learn how to swim by splashing around in a bathtub!

Simon

But it will break her heart. Her teeny-tiny heart.

Annie

Whose fault is that?

Ruthie

Mommy's upstairs yelling at Mary and Lucy, and I'm pretty sure the roast is burning.

Why do you think that?

Ruthie

Because there's smoke coming out of the oven.

Ruthie, you get off the phone right now and go upstairs and get your mother. Right now, that's an order! Understand?

Ruthie

Yes, sir! [hangs up]

Ruth! Pack my bags, I'm shipping out!

It's important to know when to be helpful and how to be helpful. When you don't know either one, it's important to be harmless.

Matt

What?

Lead, follow or get out of the way.

Eric

I finished my sermon.

I knew you would.

Eric

Gosh, you know... I've been dreading tomorrow all week, and now I can't wait.

Why did you think it was not just a hug?

Lucy

I don't know... something just didn't seem right. I got a bad feeling about it... but I'm sorry. That's just the way I felt... I must've been wrong. I was wrong, I mean obviously.

Are you sure you were wrong, Lucy?

Lucy

Off course I'm wrong, I'm always wrong. But how was I supposed to know about that mile record thing?

I'm going to have to talk to one of your parents.

Lucy

At least you know the number.

Mary

[to Lucy] How are either of them going to call you if you are on the phone?

Lucy

They're not, I'm playing hard to reach until I can make up my mind which one I want.

Eric

It's just that I always thought we'd be buried in upstate New York in the Camden family graveyard on the Colonel's property. Camden's have been buried there for hundreds of years.

Annie

A hundred years!

Eric

It's just a hole in the ground, so what difference does it make anyway, right?

Annie

Right, unless by that you don't want to be in the ground next to my mother and father.

Annie

[angry because the store owner won't let her return a poor quality sweater without a receipt] I'm just trying to return a sweater.

You're just trying to create a disturbance.

Annie

A disturbance? You want a disturbance? I'll give you a disturbance! What ever happened to common decency? What ever happened to service and a simple thank you for shopping here? What ever happened to the store standing behind the merchandise that it sells? What ever happened to truth, justice, and the American store taking returns?

I'll tell you what happened. People started shoplifting and then returning things for cash, or buying things, wearing them, and returning them for no reason! Profits started coming down, and insurance rates started going up, so shop owners had to start looking for merchandise with a higher mark-up. What do you want from a twelve dollar sweater? What ever happened to "You get what you pay for"? If the manufacturer doesn't stand up for the merchandise, then why should I get stuck? I've got kids to feed too, you know! That's what happened to this American store taking returns!

Annie

[to Mary] Well, if you run away from everything that scares you, you're gonna miss out on some great stuff in life.

I wish we had dates to the dance, though.

Lucy

Me, too. I know it sounds shallow, but just once in my life I'd like to walk into a gym with a really cool guy. Somebody tall, handsome and not my dad!
